CoolPlayer
Work fine with all the standard music formats. Groovy skin
VLC Portable
Excellent general purpose video and audio player. It handles all the major codecs and plays DVD's, CD's VCD's and all major video and audio formats. It's small and superfast with a clean interface.
VLC
Either of these players are excellent general-purpose media players. VLC has the advantage of coming bundled with every video codec under the sun, and it plays streaming media as well. It plays DVD's, CD's, VCD's, and all major video and audio formats.

CDex
Many media or audio players have CD ripping built in, but if you have a large CD collection to go through or want a standalone tool, CDex is the way to go. Does everything you would expect it to: total control over ID3 tags, track numbering, automatic album look-up, etc.
CDex
You're at your buddy Skeeter's house, and you see he has the latest Gregorian Chants CD. What to do? Rip it to your memory stick with CDex, the best CD audio extractor around.
Audacity
Simply put, it is the best. No other free audio editor even comes close. Supports all major formats, runs quick, and performs all the standard functions: cut, copy, splice, record, mix, adjust speed and pitch.

WinAmp
iTunes
There are a lot of free music players for Windows, including Windows Media Player, which is perfectly adequate for occasional use. Music junkies, though, want something more. Whether you prefer iTunes or WinAmp depends on your specific needs.
If you want something unobtrusive, yet powerful, go with WinAmp. It's perfect for using while doing other things on your computer. I particularly like the global hotkey support that lets you control it while you are still working in another program. No need to switch focus.
CDBurnerXP Pro
The best free DVD burning software around.
Don't let the "Pro" in the name fool you. This is freeware. Some of the features include audio CD burning (duh), audio CD ripping, burn-proof (no coasters), burn or create ISO files. It writes to any of the following: CD-R/CD-RW/DVD+R/DVD-R/DVD+RW/DVD-RW.
